SD International Triathlon 2013

The San Diego International Triathlon, run by Kozlowski Enterprises, was fortunate to have the classic early coastal fog and wind during this year's event, the 31st annual. The international course started at Spanish Landing. It included a 1,000-meter swim, a hilly 30-kilometer bike ride and a 10-kilometer run ending at the Embarcadero. The sprint distance course included a 500 meter swim, 20-k ride and six kilometer run. Luke McKenzie won the elite men's division while Rachel Challis won the elite women's division.
